I once was a commisioner on the Blake Drainage Ditch District and on our last day out trying to improve drainage in our District we decided , two of the last members, we were wasting our time because our drainage ran to Biglow Lake which is the headwaters of Indian Creek. Indian Creek starts in Thurston County and then enters City of Olympia and NEITHER one has helped improve the drainage. They have allowed culverts to totally plug up and lied they have done annual maintenance. I have lived in this Blake Drainage area for 80 years and fully understand how tax payers are forgotten. A stormwater tax was created and damn little of that tax money has been spent in our area. It must have been spent to create dams OR plugged culverts as we have them.
I wish you good luck but turning your drainage problem over to Thurston County is not the answer.
